Best way I can phrase this is: With its two wing-shaped flippers, that fish could be mistaken for a bird.
I don't know what flying in the sea would look like so I won't advise you to use it to describe real world stuff.

Other than punctuation, #1 should be the correct use of a gerund phrase—is it not???

Hmmm... but it is referring to a specific fish “that fish” so I would add “it looks like a bird flying”. Not sure what the Oxford book would say though. 😀

@Gordondonoghue
Yes, your noun phrase works correctly: like + a bird flying
The gerund phrase acts in the same way, because it functions as a noun: like + flying in the sea
It (that specific fish with bird-like features) looks like (performs like) —-. The grammar is correct.
